I'll get the feelers out here once the game drops. Would you guys be interested in an OS ladder for Tecmo Bowl Throwback? I did one for APF and it was pretty successful.

Basically, I did it where you get 3 points for a win, 1 point for a loss. At the end of the ladder "season" we'd have a tournament with the seedings according to your ladder position (with a cutoff if necessary).

Users would simply report the result of who they played. Games only counted against other people involved in the ladder.

The big advantage to it was that it was very casual, so there was no time commitment necessary to be involved. It was fun. Just an idea.

I'll be picking this up for sure. I have the nes version on my cpu, but I just prefer to play on the consoles. $10 isn't a bad price and it might keep me entertained for the summer while I wait for Backbreaker and the news on those other football titles.

ugh..

I just thought of something..

Do we know if we can edit playbooks for online games?

some playbooks have those horrible reverse plays.

My calendar is marked. I can't believe it's this close!

Questions that are unanswered:

1) If we edit player names.. do they show up during online play?

2) Can we edit playbooks for online play?

We'll find out on wednesday. You're right, at high level play that really limits some teams.

nope.. it's the 28th. one of the websites was wrong and said 29th (including Major Nelson)

The Tecmo twitter refuses to answer my questions.. so I'm assuming we can not edit playbooks for online play, and our edited rosters will not show up during online play. They would have confirmed this in interviews with journalists if it was in the game.

disappointing.

That's a big leap in logic. You may be right, but them not answering their Twitter feed doesn't mean that it's not in the game.

Kasey, count me in for the ladder.

Maybe if we build up a good enough community we can eventually have a tourney with a simple prize of some XBL points or something?
